What tactics are best when managing Brazil?

I have just left Liverpool after 2 seasons in charge- I sold £105m worth of players and bought £106m. If you're careful in the market there is no reason why you can't get decent signings. Additionally, if you can prove yourself, then more money can come your way. I finished 4th in my 1st season...

Gignac. But how are you going to finance this, as Liverpool have no money at the start of season 1?!

I have a similar issue regarding Torres, Gignac and Gerrard.

In 2nd second and Torres just can't score!! Last season he was ok, scoring 14 in 28 league matches but so far he has only got one in 8- not Torres form at all. Fortunately it hasn't impacted too much as I am top of the league by 5 points after 11 games- but what is the best way to use him...

They are 2 amazing young players.

Seems to be an increasing thing amongst clubs in the higher tiers. It's annoying, however I managed to get £1m from loaning out David N'Gog to PSG : )

I did see this one and thought it was there for something slightly different- achievements as people accomplish them. I'm asking for any achievement at any time.

And they had a man sent off- how gutting!!

How did you do that?!?

I once got the England job after one season managing in the Premier League (keeping Pompey up), and then, after wanting a new challenge, taking over at Leicester in the Championship with them bottom and failing to keep them up. In that summer, the job became available and I thought 'Why not?!'...

It doesn't have to be winning the Champions League or the Premier League. It could be taking little Havant and Waterlooville to the Conference. Keeping Southampton up despite their point deductions (and being rubbish! : p ). Or just keeping hold of that prized asset or stealing that big signing...

I normally keep my interest up with the team I start my save with, but then if I leave, for whatever reason, and it takes me ages to find a job, I get bored. Even if I can get a job straight away, some 'novelty' has worn off. For example, I won the league with Portsmouth, but then got half way...

Seriously, if you're at the start of 2010- Ruud van Nistelrooy. I got him for under £500k, then he got me 6 goals in 11 games. Also I rate Andre-Pierre Gignac who plays for Toulouse. Should be able to get him for about £10-12m.

The last FM I had was 2007 and one of my best saves saw me manage Chivas USA in the MLS. The MLS works very differently from the European leagues but I did really enjoy the different style of management. However, the draft system, which I liked at first, becomes confusing and player registration...
